Re: Dark Sapphire Metallic Third Gens
I've always felt that at least in my eyes, the 85 (and up) Irocs were the "first" of the modern muscle cars. I've also always felt that the 82-87 Z28s were the last of the great "classic" muscle cars. ...and as a long time thirdgen fan and multiple car owner, they both make me proud. Your Z, with that color combo, might just be my favorite color combo. Very nice.

Re: Dark Sapphire Metallic Third Gens
What a beautiful color. I really like the two-tones. The dark red or a couple of different blues as the primary color are just awesome looking cars.
Looks a lot like my ATS in "dark Adriatic blue metallic." Maybe I should make my Cadillac a two-tone. Well, maybe not.

Here is my 87 TA! Unfortunately the paint is in pretty bad shape, it just looks good from this angle. Will be getting repainted soon

Re: Dark Sapphire Metallic Third Gens
Yes, good guess guys. Just last August. And also will be there this year. I'm usually the only car there this color.

I've been casually keeping my eyes open for the "right" thirdgen to add to the stable. This one would stay stock, -no mods. ....and if I could choose, I'd say EITHER of the two beautiful examples posted here would be high on the list! Throw value, rarity, performance, options etc. etc. out the window, and just imagine opening the garage door and looking at it. ....at least in my book, it'd be hard to beat these two.

Well you KNOW after making that post I had to go look around, LOL! ....found this old auction on BAT. Sold for just over $18k last December. I'd love a manual car, but what a beauty!

Hopefully some day the values on 3rd gens will go up. I've been waiting patiently for years. It looks like the 4th gens are going up 1st.
